This is SuperHeroTimeFan. I would like to thank Flaming Dragon for your support in my story as well as Logan GC's. KINGREADER, I assure you that Logan GC will have someone turn to the Dark Side, but not Wally. Without further adieu, here's Chapter 7:
Chapter 7: Suspicion and Trust
Mount Justice November 2nd 1934 Hours
Robin couldn't stop wondering about Wally's strange behavior. Ever since Galen spent more time with Artemis than the rest of the Team, the young speedster hasn't been at ease. He was currently following him to his souvenir room. Something was up. He was always leaving at the times Galen and Artemis were getting along well. What's going on here? The Boy Wonder thought to himself as he hid from Wally. He turned around to make sure no one was following him, and then entered the room. Robin snuck up to the door and used a birdarang to pry it a bit open. There, he listened to something that made him tense.
Inside, Wally set up a holocomputer and he saw Batman's face. "Report." The Dark Knight ordered. Wally gulped and then gave him what he needed to know. "Galen's been acting stranger than usual." Kid Flash told him. Batman raised an eyebrow under his mask and asked, "Explain." "Galen was absent during Halloween and returned with Artemis and Zatanna, all three of them seemed to be injured from some kind of battle and Galen looked like he was in shock." He told him. Robin growled under his breath and continued to listen. "He's also been teaching Artemis how to fight in bladed combat, and earlier today, he was fighting her. They both had lightsabers!" The young scientist told him. "Interesting." Batman replied, after comprehending everything he was telling him.
Wally took out a photo of what looked like schematics. "I was able to take a photo of this. It was in Galen's room. I believe they may tell how to make that impossible weapon." He told him. Robin felt like cursing him, but listened nonetheless. "I'll come by to pick that up." He told him, in which Wally smiled and Robin grinned angrily. "Is there anything else?" he asked. "Yes," Wally replied. "During the exercise, Galen mentioned some knowledge of alien invasion. He said that if aliens need resources, then the planetary population would have to be eviscerated." Batman's eyed widened as he was being informed. "Does he show any sign of betrayal to the Team?" he asked his liaison. "No, but I overheard a conversation with Artemis that she had a nightmare where she killed us all, and Galen said he had that vision before." Wally further informed.
"Very well. The League's preoccupied at the moment, but I'll come to the Cave in three days, when our chaos with Warden Strange is over. I'll bring Zatara along to oversee the Boy's powers." Batman said after thinking for a while. "Artemis might be in danger of Galen. It's very dangerous to be putting them together." Wally added on. "I don't trust him." Batman grinned before turning away and turning back. "Wait for my arrival and keep a low profile. Do not take any extreme measures." He ordered. "Yes, sir." Wally nodded respectively.
When Robin saw the transmission end, he ran into the room. "Why, Wally, why?" he asked desperately to his friend. "How long were you–" Wally asked but was interrupted. "Telling personal information about Galen to Batman? He's our friend! We can trust him!" the young Grayson reassured him. "You can trust him, but I can't. He's talking more to Artemis than us. Don't you find that to be even a little suspicious?" he questions Robin. "So what?" The Boy Wonder replies back.
"So, he's been spending time with her! He could be training the Team to kill the League! I'm telling you, Dick, there's something about him I don't like. Surely, you can feel it too." He scolded his friend. "He might be acting suspicious to you, but not to us!" Robin angrily replied back. "Then don't tell anyone about me being Batman's liaison. We're friends, right?" he asks him. Robin let out a sigh and patted him on the back. "Fine. But if you try to perform a single act of assassination, your secret's out!" he told him angrily. He and Wally started walking to the training room, where they see Artemis practicing lightsaber techniques with Galen. Artemis tries to perform a Soresu attack, but Galen trips her. "Let's try that again." He tells her. Artemis smiles at him. Sportsmaster would always be angry whenever she messed up. "Okay!" she replies confidently. Robin smirks to his friend, who just stays where he is, watching them. As they watched, Robin could think of nothing but the more secrets that are being kept from the Team. Soon be over soon be over. He thought to himself. All he wanted was to be on a Team he could trust.
This brings Chapter 7 to a close. Robin's now in on the secret too! Will this bring more distrust amongst the Team? Remember to read Logan GC's A New Destiny to find out! Chapter 14 of his story should be out this week. This is SuperHeroTimeFan signing off. Have a nice day!
